The original Žleby Chateau was first mentioned in 1289. The current shape of Žleby Chateau is a magnificent romantic noble residence with extensive collections of weapons, luxury furniture and original everyday objects. Because of its beauty, the castle is a popular destination for filmmakers and tourists. The castle offers visitors an excursion into the everyday life of the nobility in the 19th century. In order to improve the service to the public, the creation of new visitor facilities has been the subject of work.

The subject of the work carried out in the restoration mode was the construction of new visitor facilities and toilets. The work was divided into two phases, which were intertwined. They included the gradual restoration of historic stone and brick elements, structural modifications, health and technical installations, heating, electrical installations and fire safety solutions. The first phase included the rehabilitation of the southern and eastern perimeter walls of the Lower Chateau building, the drainage of the basement masonry, the restoration of the original Lower Chateau spine road, the so-called Lower Corridor, and the implementation of modern health and safety installations for the new visitor facilities. The second phase of the work included the static securing and restoration of the suspended corridor, the drainage of the parkland and the connection to the sewers.
